$9.99At once both a stunning critique of the institutional process, and an affirmation of the human spirit, this book is laden with a poetic power and intensity unlike no other. The first time I read it, I felt changed and like a part of me made it “out” with “Chief Bromden.” A “10” of a book. SUPER CLASSIC!

This collection of vintage photographs explores the experience of the thousands of women who came to the U.S. Army-financed Douglas Aircraft Plant in Long Beach, the largest wartime plane manufacturer. These “Rosie the Riveters,” as they were affectionately referred to, trained at the local schools, ran their households on rations, and worked long shifts riveting, welding, assembling, and installing in windowless bomb-proof plants.
